I had my breast reduction on April 4th, 2019, There is so type of tape over my incisions ( either transpore or microspore ) I was curious which tape is usually used over incisions? My doctor wants to leave the tape on for another week or two but he said if it is sticking use powder. But some of the tape is coming off. Which tape is recommended to use: transpore or microspore? He said I can take if off if it's coming off but I just want to replace it so it can continue healing.
I am a week post OP from my breast reduction. My dr did not do an anchor incision. I saw him two days ago and he said we are leaving the tape on. My problem is the tape they used is very sticky and leaving residue to where lint and clothing sticks to it. I was wondering can I take the tape off, clean the area and use tegaderm to replace the old tape? So it wont cause clothing and the bra to stick anymore?
I got breast reduction last week and also asked the doctor to remove some rolls of fat by the side of the bra area. When I came out of surgery my sides were extremely swollen and still are . A day later one of my drains wasnt working and the I had narcosis. The doctor had to cut the side of my oblique and fixed it. Now I have a huge purple bruise and very swollen. The doctor said it was ok, should I be worried? I had surgery out of state and now Im back home.
I had my breast reduction on the 16th. My doctor told me to wear a normal bra without underwire or pads and seemed really against compression bras when I asked about them, so I've been wearing a bra in the size 34C non-stop since the surgery. I'm not sure if I should buy a compression bra anyway, because in every post I read it was recommended, but it is kind of expensive so if I don't really need one I won't buy it. Thanks for any advice!
I am six days post a breast reduction. My surgeon insists I wear a underwire bra during full recovery in order to shape my breast correctly. This is the opposite of what I am reading everywhere else. Not to mention extremely uncomfortable. Does anybody understand this or know if this is normal?
I had what seemed to be a blood blister appear 2 days after breast reduction surgery.The blood blister has since popped and I've been giving instruction to put perscribed antibiotic cream 2 times a day. I was curious to receive any opinions on what this may be and what the percentage might be of it healing on its own or needing medical attention? I was told a skin graft may be a consideration if it is not healing well. Thank you for your time and expertise.
I don't think very hard as the pain was more sharp and subsided within seconds. I'll definitely inform my surgeon. Just wondering, what I should be watching for? I have no new bruising, new blood or additional swelling.
